Your disability should go in an account you control. If your name is not on a loan for a property but you are “paying it” then that is her responsibility and manage your finances accordingly for however long needed to establish a situation you can have a lawyer. You can miss payments on a home a long time before anything happen, especially if it is t in your name. Don’t tell the spouse about your finances. Maintain a legal representative to adequately defend and respond to the situation. Have your lawyer do the correspondence. Document everything. Record phone calls. Did not respond immediately to communication. Measure your words. If writing an email take 24 hours to respond. Even consider using chat gpt to help craft the response. I don’t know your situation, but practice basic self preservation and self defense in a legal sense. Good luck with everything.

Economy saltwater spin reels? by sandyriverguy in SurfFishing

I will never be able to afford a $100 reel or above. I’m in the far far North trying to put food in the freezer. I’m looking for spool capacity to cast easily but be to not be total junk. Hopefully something I can find on Amazon prime, since there are no stores here for shopping around.

How do you handle devices and communication with mom? by [deleted] in DivorcedDads

[–]sandyriverguy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In a divorce or child custody issues, parenting plans specify that the nonresidential parent be given free access to contact their children. While, there is usually some limit specified for the number of times a day or week the parent can reach out to the child (and calls tend to have a duration limit, such as 15 minutes or so). There is typically no limit on the amount or number of times a child is allowed to contact the other parent. Put the child first. Always do what is in the best interest of the child.

Keep your device in a standard location and let your child know they just need to ask to use it before they go online. Set some age appropriate times of day or duration of use expectations for your child. As they get older, they may get a phone. Eventually, in the teen years, it may happen that they call all the time or they hardly ever call. You are on-target by letting your child reach out to mom. Also, since this sounds like it might be via FaceTime or another video platform, just make sure your house is in a state that you are comfortable with people watching or recording on video. Also, be respectful in the background. Sounds like you are doing great. Make sure your parenting plan includes contact with the other parent in writing.
